Is it a real bummer to get lynched Day 1? Have you ever wanted to live forever? This game will scratch that itch!
In this game you (probably) can escape death at least once: You have more than one life (probably two), and getting lynched or killed just reduces your life by one. Players that reach zero lives will flip, but until then they're still in it.
This game is similar in spirit to a game run last year by Jon Joe.

Nine Lives Mafia: A game for 9 players
(It may last a bit longer than a normal 9 player game due to the extra lives)

Standard mafia rules apply: Don’t talk out of thread unless specifically permitted, don’t copy/paste PMs from the me, don’t edit your posts, no toxx or stuff against the spirit of the game. Also remember this is a game that we’re playing for fun, so don’t go overboard insulting each other or being dicks. If you don’t have PMs, make sure to mention how you’d like to be contacted in your signup.

Days will be 72 hours
Nights will be 24 hours (or shorter if all actions are resolved)
Deadlines will usually be at 11PM EST
The town wins when all threats have been eliminated. The scum win when they have killed everyone else, or can inevitably do so through control of the vote and night actions. If any third parties exist, their victory conditions will be defined in their role PM.
Lurkers that make less than 3 posts per game day may be warned, replaced, or modkilled at my discretion.
Do not post after hammers or day actions.

Some specifics to this game:

1. Players that are lynched or killed who still have lives remaining will still be alive and in the game. When a player reaches zero, they will flip. That means that lynches may result in things like: "Mr. Whiskers has been lynched but is still alive!"
2. Although I've made considerable effort to balance this setup, its kind of wacky and volatile so weird things might happen.
3. This game is not newbie friendly. I ask that everyone that signs up have at least 5 SA games under their belt.
4. There are a lot of power roles for a 9-player game, fair warning.
5. This game will be light on flavor.
6. By the nature of multiple lives, there may not be any flips for the first day (or even two). To compensate for this and to provide some fuel for discussion and speculation, I will provide some extra information on the morning of Day 2, Day 3, and any later day where neither the previous lynch nor night actions yielded any flips:

* I will post a summary of the life-count of all living players coded by a number assigned in the role PM (numbers will be assigned randomly). This will be your only indication of your life count, you will not be informed otherwise if you have lost a life. Each player's number will be revealed in their flip to allow for additional analysis, but to limit the effectiveness of this information prior to flips, the following rules are in effect:
* It is prohibited to claim or breadcrumb your number, or fish for (ask about) another living player's number. Violations may result in a modkill.
* This info is intended to provide some additional clues for speculation and analysis in lieu of flips, not to break the game through mass claiming.

If you want to claim how many lives you have left, or "someone tried to kill me last night" that's generally OK, as long as you respect the spirit of the rule to use the life-report as private information and a tool for general speculation until people flip. If people start badgering each other to mass claim lives left as a way to circumvent the secret number restrictions, I would warn people to knock it off.

Muy interesante. I've played 2 on this account, and I think 2 on a previous account. I've played enough IM mafia and forum mafia on other sites to where I'd say it'd add up to at least a single game on here, though

Roles have been assigned randomly, and are now being delivered in alphabetical order. All are PMs except an email for "it is". Please confirm when you have received your role.

Day 1 starts now!

Votefinder will be updated shortly.

Here is a Vanilla Town PM:

Slamburger posted:



You are (Breed-of-cat), Vanilla Town

As a vanilla, you have no special powers, but you can still help find the scum! You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

You have two lives. If you are lynched or targeted for a kill, you will lose one life. You remain in the game until you reach zero lives, at which point you'll flip and be eliminated. You will not necessarily be told when you have lost lives.

Your secret number for life reports is #0. The rules of this game prohibit you from claiming or breadcrumbing this number. You also may not fish for (ask about) another living player's number. Violations may result in a modkill. If you have any questions about this rule, or the multiple life rules, feel free to PM me.
